Default Missing conning tower reflections

Hi all,

Is there any fix for this? I have seen this with Type IIA, I haven't yet checked if other ships are missing conning tower reflections too but VIIB and VIIC doesn't have this problem. I have used Type IID too but that was then when those reflections didn't even work. Somehow they started to work. Anyways where could I find a fix for those missing reflections? And are there any sound fixes? I experience sound bugs sometimes in the game. Today when I was after a merchant in SH III and decided to submerge my sub at perisope depth while looking at that merchant vessel away from my sub, moment later I went back looking at my submerged sub and I could hear water still moving on the surface like my sub never did submerge. Wtf? But that wasn't the wierdest thing, I once saw me crew still on the friggin' bridge while the sub was submerged!:rotfl:

And by the way are there any rusted red hull skins for VIIB and VIIC?

The sound issues you describe sound (I'm not trying to be funny btw) like stock bugs that were never fixed. In rough weather (11m + wind speeds) large waves will wash over & submerge your watch crew. As far as I know, there is no fix for that. U-boat bunkers aren't water-proof either: rain will pour through the ceiling.

I would suggest that you download the GWX 2.1 mod available at http:///thegreywolves.com/. It's a big download but well worth the time & effort. GWX fixes many of the stock game's issues & and adds a lot of new material.

Oh well, I guess I should get that GWX then. I hope I can turn off those mods in that mod package what would decrease my computers performance. I have an old computer.

Okay, downloading it from here.

ARGH! That is a update not package itself! I downloaded a wrong thing, I'm gonna try my luck with that torrent.

Nay, torrent seems to be having that same GWX2.1.exe in it. Ok, I'm confused now.

You need to install GWX 2.0 THEN GWX 2.1 on a clean SH3 1.4b

Yeah, found it out yesterday. I've got problems with my computer wireless thing and also some other problems which all are probably going to get fixed today. So that means I'm gonna download GWX 2.0 tommorrow.

I hope GWX also improves exiting the game while at sea or underwater without having to go throught your office.. It's annoying and I found out that "Save and Exit" thing corrupts savegames somehow and makes your watchmen to be on bridge while the sub is submerged. In other words stock game's saving and loading sucks so hard and every time I load the game I have to set those torpedos to F (fast speed) again. So long words short: Does GWX improve saving and loading and fixes this "savegames getting corrupt"?
